Abstract
A case of glioma of the tongue that was treated successfully by simple excision and repair is presented. It may represent neural tissue that remains in the occipital somites that differentiate into the tongue muscles. Histologically, it consists of sheets of glial tissue. The literature is reviewed, and the case is discussed.
